Hello!
I'm attaching a small patch which provides the ability to pass a
time_zone parameter to the DateTime inflator, in this fashion:
inflators => [{
type => 'DateTime',
time_zone => 'Europe/Helsinki',
parser => { strptime => "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M" },
}],
This allows the DateTime object created from a string which does not
contain time zone information to be returned in a definite time zone
instead of the floating one.
I find this particularly useful in my code in this way (Catalyst
example):
time_zone => $c->stash->{userdata}->time_zone',
This allows me to have date and time the user enters automatically
stored with the correct time zone, if if he/she doesn't indicate it
(which happens all the time).
As usual, I'll provide docs and tests is the patch gets accepted. ;)
Thanks,
Michele.
